Rakshasas, for example, were not always necessarily evil - there are also "half rakshasas" (the son of Bheema-Gadolkaja, from the Mahabaratha for example). The other prevelant race would be the "monkey people." One might also consider a half devine template.Cast will play a role in what type of access a person has to training but it is not restrictive as far as class (Ekalavya being an example, a good story for anyone to read:<a href="http://www.geocities.com/neovedanta/mahabharata6.html" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/neovedanta/mahabharata6.html</a> ) . There are those in indian mythology who have been prone to rage etc. As stated earlier, divine "miracles" happen through prayer- this is not limited to any caste as there have been many instances of miracles granted to both men and women - rather it is more about the amount of dedication and prayer to ones god. The role of cerimony and ritual would also play an integral part here.Indian Culture (not found in the common mythos) has the prevelant idea of black/white magic.The source of the magic are usually other worldly sources (ghosts, spirits etc).Magic is prevelant in other forms, especially weapons and armor - these are usually of a divine nature. As far as combat goes, the most common styles were sword/shield, Mace, Archery being the most valued. Chariots were also integral in this area. Anyhow thats my 10 rupees.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
